Kromski Minstrel Jumbo Whorl | Replacement Part
د.إ88.71
Slow down your flyer and take control with the Kromski Minstrel Whorl Jumbo. Specifically designed for the Jumbo Flyer system, this oversized whorl offers the lower ratios (5:1 and 7.2:1) necessary for spinning bulky art yarns and high-volume plying. Crafted from Premium European Alder, it provides the mechanical ‘bite’ needed to turn heavy, full bobbins without slipping, ensuring a consistent and rhythmic spinning experience.
Mastering the “Slow Spin”
In 2026, the secret to beautiful, lofty art yarn is a slower flyer speed. The Minstrel Jumbo Whorl is the mechanical answer to this requirement. By providing larger grooves for your drive band, it effectively “gears down” your wheel. This prevents the flyer from inserting twist too quickly, giving you the critical seconds needed to manipulate uncarded locks, add “beehives,” or manage core-spinning without the yarn becoming over-twisted and wiry.
Double-Drive Precision
Because the Minstrel is a Double-Drive powerhouse, the whorl must perfectly sync with the bobbin. This Jumbo whorl is factory-balanced to ensure that even under the heavy load of a 4-ounce jumbo bobbin, there is no vibration or “drive-train chatter.” The V-grooves are precision-cut to grip your hemp or poly drive band, translating every ounce of your treadling effort into smooth, productive rotation.
Heirloom Aesthetics
True to the Kromski heritage, this whorl is a beautiful piece of functional woodwork. Hand-finished in European Alder or Birch, it matches the ornate “castle” turnings of your Minstrel perfectly. Available in Clear Lacquer, Walnut, or Unfinished, it ensures that even your high-capacity “workhorse” setup maintains the elegant silhouette that makes the Minstrel a center-piece of any fiber studio.
